The Argentine North Eastern Railway (ANER) (in Spanish: Ferrocarril Nordeste Argentino, also Ferrocarril del Nord-Este Argentino) was a British-owned railway company, founded in 1887, that operated a 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+12 in) standard gauge railway network in the provinces of Entre Ríos, Corrientes and Misiones in Argentina. When the company was nationalised in 1948 it became part of the state-owned General Urquiza Railway.
